The Asylett Family
It's often said that writing a novel is a long and lonely process. Sometimes that's true, especially when you're sitting at the computer trying to convey the thoughts in your brain to the screen. It's hard, time-consuming and requires a great deal of dedication. And I find every minute of it completely worthwhile.
I'm in control. I'm in charge, and when my characters and story connect, when my muse flows and I accomplish a scene, my satisfaction level within myself rises to new heights. Unfortunately, there's usually no one around to share this with, until I email Stacey, my critique partner who I can't survive without, and share the news with her.
But, there are times when writing is not so lonely, when suddenly you're connecting with real people and not a keyboard. The friendships you make, like the one I've found with Stacey, can be everlasting. And if you're real lucky, you find youself immersed in a whole new family.
I have that with the wonderful people at Asylett Press. Though a relatively new company, Asylett is home to many different talents and inspiring minds. At the helm is our publisher. She's a wonderful lady who cares about all of us as individuals and as authors. She works hard to meet deadlines and to keep the company rising to greater levels. She does this with class, a sense of pride and a loving heart. It is because of her belief in people that I have found myself blessed and fortunate these past few years.
Along with my publisher, I've gained many new 'brothers and sisters'. My co-authors are some of the most kind, caring and considerate people I know, not to mention they are highly talented, and not just within the world of writing. We have history buffs, a connoisseur of airplanes, a painter, soap maker, teacher, journalist and everyday moms and dads.
We've developed a closeness of sharing, from everything related to writing, to family, to the weather in different regions, as we're all scattered across the globe. I don't know if other publishing houses have this type of connection, but within Asylett's walls, a real family exists. Each day, I look forward to reading their emails and staying that much more connected to them.
I invite all of you to visit Asylett.com and get to know 'my family'. On the catalogue page, you'll find current interviews and photos, and well-written stories in several different genres. And if you know any of them and like their work, let them know. I'm betting they'll be happy to hear from you.
Until next week, I hope Lady Luck shines down upon all of you.
